* BARREL-PUMP. 1

srncrrrcn'rroiv forming part of Letters Patent No. 286,428, dated October 9, 1883.

Application filed March 29, 1883. (Modch) To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LAWRENCE E. Gore non and Ennnsr E. GUIGNON, both of Corry, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Barrel-Pump, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide a barrel-pump that shall be cheap and practical, and one having such construction that a separate drip-pipe for leading the, drip from the tray back into the barrel will not be required.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding partsin all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our new and improved barrel-pump as it appears when applied to a barrel for use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of our invention. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the brace for the tray, detached from the device; and Fig. 4: is a detailed inverted plan view of aportion of the bottom of thetra-y.

A represents the tray for holding the measures or vessels to be filled, the bottom B of which tray is made conical, so that the drain will be from center to circumference. Near the edge of the tray the bottom B is provided with the short pipe or tube C,'through which the-pump-tubeD passes, and through which, also,the drip finds its way from the tray back into the barrel or cask J, to which the device is applied, thus avoiding the use of a separate drip-pipe, as is commonly used with devices of this kind.

The device is attached to the barrel or cask by means of the bung-tube E, within the upper end of which the said short tube 0 fits, which bung-tube is made conical at its lowerend, as shown at d, to fit snugly in the bunghole of the barrel or cask, as will be under stood from Fig. 1.

F is a detachable brace, formed at one end with the sleeve f, that fits upon the bung-tube E, and at the other with the cross-piece f, that fits in the channel I), formed or secured upon the botto'mB of the tray A,which brace and cross-piece serve to support the tray, and also to prevent vibration of the tray while the plunger G is being operated in the pumptube D. The pump-tube D and plunger G are of return the overflow to ordinary construction, except that the tube D is provided at thebottom with the sharp points a, that are adj usted to be embedded into the material of the barrel or cask, for staying the bottom of the pumptube and steadying the device while pumping.

The guard H, placed in the tray A, is of or dinary constru -tion, being composed of the rim h, center piece, h, and radial rods h and is for the purpose of preventing articles from falling upon the bottom of the tray.

- Constructed in this manner the device is made practical, and is cheap er and simpler than those heretofore produced, and is held firm and steady while the pump is being operated; and by making the brace F detachable and the tube 0 to fit removably within the bungtube. E, it will be seen that the device may be taken all apart for storing away or for transportation.

We are aware that a hung and sleeve for holding a pump in abarrel are the subject of a reissued Patent No. 5,198; but that is a screwthreaded bung, the sleeve is a funnel, and is not a part of the bung, and we do not claim the same as our invention. 7

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

' 1. The combination, with a barrel-pump, of a convex-bottomed drip-pan having. a hole through said bottom, near one edge thereof, to receive the pump loosely, a sleeve secured to the under side of the pan around said hole, and

a guard consisting of a circular plate, radial wires extending therefrom to a circular rim adapted to rest in the edge of the pan, and to hold said plate above the apex of the convex bottom, as shown and described, whereby a measure maybe held in a vertical position to be filled level full beneath the pump-sp out, and a drip pari of small dimensions is adapted to the barrel, as specified.

2. In a bari'elpump, the brace F, made detachable from the tube E and tray A, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination, with the tray B andthe bung-tube E, of the brace F, having sleeve f and cross-piece f, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4. The combination, with a barrel-pump, of
